Can I pause a WISDEM optimization and check its output?

Hello everybody,

Is there the possibility of pausing a WISDEM optimization after some time, and check the optimizer output at that time?

Thank you for your time and attention

Hello,
One option is to set the maximum number of iterations to 10 (or 100, or whatever you need based on your problem), so that the optimizer stops, and you can then look into your results then. That’s not pausing though. What I usually do is to keep the OpenMDAO logger activated, and run this script WISDEM/wisdem/glue_code/gc_RunTools.py at 46b5309a47d7bcc191dab7408a48806f556cc5b5 · WISDEM/WISDEM · GitHub every time I want to know where the optimizer is.
I hope this helps,

Thank you for your fast reply Pietro.
I run the script and it looks useful.
